"Lemmings don't jump off cliffs." It says so right here in Foxys book. Theres just one problem: the lemmings haven't read it. Welcome aboard the S.S. Cliff for a hilarious arctic adventure as first mate Foxy and Captain Polar Bear try to get these little guys to just READ THE BOOK!
"An off-the-wall lesson about the value of facts Children will laugh, be encouraged to read and be glad to Know Better." -- Nicolette Jones * Sunday Times *
"A new favourite in our house full of wit and exuberance, perfect for visually sophisticated modern children." * Irish Independent *
"OHoras scratchy, comically stiff figures and poker-faced humor beautifully embody the tales essential absurdity. And the lemmings final victory affirms that progress is possible even for the terminally silly." * Publishers Weekly, starred review *
"Delightfully imparts the joy and discovery of readingand many chuckles and guffaws." * Kirkus *
"An absolute joy to read" * BookTrust *
